Applying Future Search Principles to Generate Powerful Local Action: 10 Years of Learning from Around the World. May 13-15, 2004, 11 am Thursday through 3 pm Saturday Vlkomen till Stockholm! Onskar, Scandinavian FSN och Ander & Lindstrm Partners (Welcome to Stockholm, wishes from the Scandinavian FSN and Ander & Lindstrm Partners) You are also invited to attend a future search training workshop, just prior to the Learning Exchange, in Stockholm, May 9, 2004 through May 12, 2004. (See web site for details)
FSN members will gather in Stockholm to learn, explore
and grow in the power and replicability of the future search method and
its principles. These principles free people to move to new depths of
diversity, inclusion and to a richer understanding of taking powerful
local action regardless of their starting point. Whatever your
experience of future search, this years Learning Exchange is designed
to broaden your awareness and increase your capacity to apply the
principles of future search in your communities, organisations, and
businesses. We will aim to address the questions:
- How do future search principles embolden direct democracy in action?
- What factors contribute to generating the most powerful local action?
- How
does future search play out differently in community work, corporate
life, both in for profit and non profit entities, government and
society?
- How do future search principles apply in different cultures?
It
is anticipated that the working language of the conference will be
English. As this may neither be the first language nor a language
spoken at all by some participants, we would ask Network members to let
us know if you speak more than one language and whether you might be
prepared to act as an interpreter, to a level that you would be
comfortable with. Travel Assistance: Many people
from around the world for a variety of reasons will find it difficult
to find the necessary funds to join us. So to support others to make
the journey to Stockholm the planning group has set up a Travel
Assistance Fund (TAF). More information and a call for donations will
follow separately the TAF in an email!. The planning group has donated
funds to get the TAF kick started and we are sure that it will grow
with the kind generosity of many others. If anyone, particularly
from a less economically developed country wishes to apply for travel
assistance, please let us know by emailing Fran Ryan:
fran@peopleincharge.co.uk At this point we can't
make any promises but we hope to be able to help. As of January 23,
2004, 13 people have made a contribution to the Travel Assistance Fund,
bringing us close to being able to fully assist one person or partially
assist several. For convenience, we have also
scheduled a future search training workshop to accompany the workshop
and which will be held May 9, 2004 through May 12, 2004.Please let all
your networks and contacts know about the workshop and learning
exchange so we can make this a memorable and worthwhile event. Spread
the word! Conference Details:
